Yes, we will definitely update this thread once that feature is available. – Lesley, on June 12, 2008 15:38

CoPe, you will be able to drag and drop your location on a map very soon. :) – Lesley, on June 12, 2008 15:06

Its a bit annoying that we can't move the place-mark around the map to the correct position. Since I can't move it to its correct position I won't add that location...

Great! Glad you got it working. You can add a custom label to any lat-long location you use by adding [Insert Name] after your coordinates. Once you are able to click on a map to set your location, it should help with a lot of these types of problems. – Lesley, on June 10, 2008 23:39

uhm..what format is that longitude and lat 'sposed to be entered? decimal or deg-min-sec? Nevermind it worked.

Im okay with that. Kinda cool to talk real time. It just was not very clear to me when I got here that it was 2nd party. So when the sign up popped, I was all 'WT?'

I am pretty sure that it worked. It was a month ago so foggy here. However, if it had not worked- I would remember that.

Actually, it looks like this is a bug with the mobile version. We will look into this. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. – Lesley, on June 10, 2008 23:11

It's a separate entity that we integrate with for our customer service. We know it's somewhat of a hassle to create a new account on Get Satisfaction. Having a single sign-on for both Brightkite and GS is on our to-do list. – Lesley, on June 10, 2008 23:09

On the web version the search bar does not bring up my friend who I just invited. He as well cannot find me. – lame software lover, on June 10, 2008 23:08

Just to be sure I understand correctly...when you signed up you successfully entered your location and were able to create a placemark? Then the placemark got deleted and now your location that you entered before is no longer showing up? – Lesley, on June 10, 2008 23:05

Just to post to this issue- oh is this not part of brightkite?

I put my address in when I first signed up and it seemed like it worked fine. However, the place mark is gone, and now my home address no worky. Kinda put off by that. But hey, that is why you call this 'BETA' right? How will I know when this is fixed- I am not going to randomly put my address in hoping that one day it will work.

I agree that this can be frustrating. We are working on adding more friend features and functionality regarding people searches. For the time being, you can search for people by their real name or username using the search bars on the web and mobile versions. You can also view nearby users when you are in your Around Me tab or on any Placestream. I hope that helps. – Lesley, on June 10, 2008 22:57

When I tried to make the last post it wanted me to log in. -(Already logged in.) Or set up a new account. That wasted my time as well.

Yeah- kinda hard to go viral when my friends cannot find me and I cannot find them.
